Abstract
Stimulated Raman scattering plays a significant role in nonlinear fiber optics as for example in the generation of white-light supercontinua (SC) where it can lead to dynamics such as soliton fission and soliton self-frequency shift [1-3]. From a theoretical perspective, nonlinear pulse propagation and SC generation is often modelled using a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation where the Raman effects is included through a time-domain response function [4]. While many numerical studies of broadband SC generation employ the experimental Raman response (or an accurate Lorentzian approximation) a more simple linear approximation to the Raman response has also often been used. Although such an approach can be useful to obtain analytical insight into Raman-induced effects, it is essential to ensure that the particular model used for the Raman response is an accurate approximation for the parameter regime under study.
